Using samples of 2.25*10^8 J/psi events and 1.06*10^8 psi events collected with the BES III detector, we study the f0(980) to a0(980) and a0(980) to f0(980) transitions in the processes J/psi --> phi f0(980) --> phi a0(980) and chi_c1 --> pi^0 a0(980) --> pi^0 f0(980), respectively. Evidence for f0(980) --> a0(980) is found with a significance of 3.4 sigma, while in the case of a0(980) --> f0(980) transition, the significance is 1.9 sigma. Measurements and upper limits of both branching ratios and mixing intensities are determined.

Recent BES results on light scalars are reported in this talk, including the observation of a charged kappa decaying to K pi0 with 5.8 * 10^7 J/psi data at BES II and the direct measurements of a0(980)-f0(980) mixing in the processes J/psi --> phi f0(980) --> phi a0(980) --> phi eta pi0 and chi_c1 --> pi0 a0(980) --> pi0 f0(980) --> pi0 pi+ pi- with 2.26 * 10^8 J/psi data and 1.06 * 10^8 psi data at BES III.
It is demonstrated that f_0-a_0 mixing can lead to a comparatively large isospin violation in the reactions pN -> da_0, pd -> ^3He/^3H a_0 and dd -> ^4He a_0 close to the corresponding production thresholds. The observation of such mixing effects is possible, e.g., by measuring the forward-backward asymmetry in the reaction pn -> d a_0^0 -> d eta pi^0.
We report the first observation of $a^{0}_{0}(980)$-$f_{0}(980)$ mixing in the decays of $J/psitophi f_{0}(980)tophi a^{0}_{0}(980)tophietapi^{0}$ and $chi_{c1}to a^{0}_{0}(980)pi^{0}to f_{0}(980)pi^{0}topi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{0}$, using data samples of $1.31times10^{9}$ $J/psi$ events and $4.48times10^{8}$ $psi(3686)$ events accumulated with the BESIII detector. The signals of $f_{0}(980)to a^{0}_{0}(980)$ and $a^{0}_{0}(980)to f_{0}(980)$ mixing are observed at levels of statistical significance of $7.4sigma$ and $5.5sigma$, respectively. The corresponding branching fractions and mixing intensities are measured and the constraint regions on the coupling constants, $g_{a_{0}K^{+}K^{-}}$ and $g_{f_{0}K^{+}K^{-}}$, are estimated. The results improve the understanding of the nature of $a^{0}_{0}(980)$ and $f_{0}(980)$.
Using data collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, the hadronic decay Bs -> J/psi f0(980) is observed. This CP eigenstate mode could be used to measure mixing-induced CP violation in the B_s system. Using a fit to the pi+ pi- mass spectrum with interfering resonances gives R_{f0/phi} = [Gamma(Bs -> J/psi f0, f0 -> pi+ pi-)]/[Gamma(Bs -> J/psi phi, phi -> K+K-)] = 0.252^{+0.046+0.027}_{-0.032-0.033}, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
A sample of 1.25x10^9 phi decays, collected with the KLOE detector at the Frascati phi-factory DAFNE at center of mass energy ~ Mphi, has been used to study the radiative decay phi to eta pi0 gamma. This decay is dominated by phi to a0(980) gamma. Two decay chains, corresponding to eta to gamma gamma and eta to pi+ pi- pi0, have been selected. We found respectively: Br(phi to eta pi0 gamma)=(6.92 +/- 0.10 (stat.) +/- 0.20 (syst.))x10^(-5) and (7.19 +/- 0.17 (stat.) +/- 0.24 (syst.))x 10 ^(-5). The eta pi0 invariant mass distributions have been fitted to obtain the relevant a0(980) parameters.
